A great interview with Mark about his work on Reservation Road! Interesting to have the composer talking about how he figured out themes and interpreted what was seen visually into music.

An earlier interview with Mark in regards to his In the Valley of Elah score. Short, but again, its nice to hear insights into how composers approach different films needs with the music they need to create.

An interview at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with Mark Isham, conducted by Bruce Broughton. Other attentdees include Rolf Kent and Mychael Danna.
Selections from "Crash" and "Afterglow" are discussed, as well as a range of other film composer topics. After a break in the interviews, all three composers came back to answer audience questions, and started with an impromptu "alternative orchestra" performance.
While it is a long watch on youtube, it definitely covers a wide range of information and interesting to hear from all of the composers. Mark Isham is featured for the first few parts and eventually Mychael Danna and Rolfe Kent join in with Bruce Broughton running the show.

Did anybody else notice that the tag for that MP3 file lists the genre as "Death Metal"? I haven't been to DFM for some time, but I don't think Death Metal has changed that much.
We will be playing Isham's "Life as a house" in our next show! (may 2010)

The first minute or so, Isham and the Director of The Mechanic talk a little about the score.
